^Haha, no

OP, I really doubt the Lakers logo has a preset font. Doesn't it have serifs and wind lines? Looks designed to me.

Maybe you could find one that's closest to it, which would probably have to be italicized.

I would ask Trixx, or APOS, he works with sigs, particularly Laker sigs

Arial Black.

No really most logos from that era were designed from scratch by a graphic designer. Back then there was no photoshop or font library. They used rulers and typography.

It's safe to say it's a custom font.

Yup, no available font is used for any team logos.

They are all custom logos that would need to be recreated to use them, but that would be illegal.

They are all trademarked fonts that shouldnt be available to the public.
